Hi!
The wife, dog and I are going on vacation to Coeur d'Alene. We will be doing some hiking in the area, should I worry about bear defense in this area?? By biggest caliber handgun is a .357 and it's a snubbie- I don't trust it for this. Either I pick up a can of bear spray and I carry my usual .380 or you guys tell me that grizzly encounters are common and I'll pack my compact 20 gauge pump loaded with slugs. I really appreciate the opinion of any one who lives or has spent time in the area.
thanks!
Dave
